Travis CI integration for FPC / Lazarus. Supports Linux/Mac OSX/Wine.

Travis CI integration for FPC / Lazarus

Travis CI currently has no official support for FreePascal. This repository demonstrates how FPC and Lazarus projects can be used in combination with Travis. There is support for building with multiple Lazarus releases on both Travis' Linux and Mac OSX platforms. Support for Windows (both win32 and win64) is done using Wine.

Files

./.travis.install.py Sets up the environment by downloading and installing the proper FreePascal and Lazarus versions. Run this script in Travis' install phase.

./.travis.yml Custom Travis setup. Refer to their documentation for more information.

./my_lazarus_test* Toy project demonstrating a possible test setup.

How to use

• Set up Travis CI for your repository
• Add .travis.install.py to your repository and run it in the install phase.

  • Execute the following command inside your repository:

    git submodule add https://github.com/nielsAD/travis-lazarus.git travis-lazarus

  • Add the following lines to your .travis.yml file:

    sudo: required
    dist: trusty
    install: ./travis-lazarus/.travis.install.py

• [OPTIONAL] Modify settings to customize build versions.

  • Add (multiple) LAZ_VER entries to the env table, for example:

    env:
      - LAZ_VER=1.4.4
      - LAZ_VER=1.6.2

  • Set the os field to specify the target operating system(s):

    os:
      - linux
      - osx

  • Add Windows builds using Wine (although a good indicator, success with Wine does not guarantee success with Windows, and vice versa!!):

    matrix:
      include:
        - os: linux
          env: LAZ_VER=1.6.2 LAZ_ENV=wine WINEARCH=win32 LAZ_OPT="--os=win32 --cpu=i386"
        - os: linux
          env: LAZ_VER=1.6.2 LAZ_ENV=wine WINEARCH=win64 LAZ_OPT="--os=win64 --cpu=x86_64"

  • Add a virtual display server if you cannot run your program headless:

    env:
      global:
        - DISPLAY=:99.0
    before_install: - Xvfb $DISPLAY &

  • Other optional environment variables:

    • LAZ_REL release platform (use with LAZ_VER):
      • Linux: i386 or amd64
      • Mac OSX: i386 or powerpc
      • Wine: 32 or 64
    • LAZ_TMP_DIR temporary directory.
